Age-Friendly Minnesota
Age-Friendly Minnesota (AFMN) is a collaborative statewide effort to make our systems and communities more inclusive of and responsive to older adults. It is part of a global movement to prepare for an aging population and ensure that older people are valued and integrated into communities at a new level.
Multisector Blueprint for Aging
Over the past several years, the Age-Friendly Minnesota Council has been leading the development of the state's first Multisector Blueprint for Aging. This ten-year, cross sector plan represents a powerful new way to elevate and coordinate aging across state agencies, and to co-design policy, programs and funding across sectors with an aging lens.
Blueprint Action Teams
Blueprint Action Teams are groups of individuals from across the state committed to advancing the work of Minnesota's Multisector Blueprint for Aging. Action Teams are organized around specific objectives from the Blueprint and comprised of individuals with lived experiences, subject matter expertise, and in key positions of leadership across state agencies and community organizations.
Grants
Age-Friendly Minnesota (AFMN) Grants support a wide range of age-friendly projects to make Minnesota a better place for all of us to grow older. They provide a new resource to spark the kind of innovation and action needed to bring age-friendly places and practices to life. This benefits us all: if we're living, we're aging.
